one day

Because the semester will not start till after CNY at Tsinghua, I am awkwardly left with an empty window of about a month before I fly there. Awkward simply because a starting new year is otherwise usually associated with new projects, and also because almost everybody else around is either busy starting school or industrial attachments.

So it's still the holidays for me, albeit it doesn't quite feel like so. Days are blurring away and filled with 琐碎 things. The things that have to be done, fill up the entire day, and yet make me feel like I'd done nothing.

Because my handsome new walkman phone doesn't read wmas, I had to download programs to convert the wmas in my laptop into mp3s. And because I had previously thought wmas were smaller and easier, and I had used windows media player all these while, all my cds were ripped into wmas.

The first program I d/led didn't allow me to convert files with mandarin file names. The 2nd program I tried didn't convert to mp3s, much to my bewilderment. The third program thankfully did the job fairly well. So now I've got to clear 2 useless freewares and their accompanying ads and peripheral exes. And then get started on converting the wmas.

And that pretty much ate my morning away. I will have to go to school to collect something later. I hope to slot in a jog before dinner because it is not raining today. And then hopefully settle some more 琐碎 things before I sleep.

And then it's tomorrow again.
